This book is derived from the proceedings of the International Workshop on Nanomechanics held at Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, California on July 14-17, 2004. Approximately 70 leading experts from academia, government and industrial sectors in semiconductors, computers, communication, information technology, defense, energy, transportation and aerospace attended the Workshop (see the workshop photo taken on July 16, 2004). The main objective was to convene leading researchers in the nanotechnology community to assess the current state-of-the-art and disseminate recent progress, critical issues, barriers to applications, and directions for future research in nanomechanics.

Surface engineering is considered an important aspect in the reduction of friction and wear. This reference text discusses a wide range of surface engineering technologies along with applications in a comprehensive manner. The book describes various methods in surface engineering technology with a thorough explanation of various aspects of each process that comes under this domain. Apart from an enhanced explanation of the process and its attributes, this book also gives insight into the types of materials, applications, and optimization of surface engineering techniques. It discusses important topics including surface engineering of the functionality of graded materials, materials character...
This book is a compilation of witty and insightful short pieces on scientific developments in the science of friction, lubrication and wear. It focuses on topics that are of interest to practicing scientists, engineers and students in tribology and related areas, and deals with novel and intriguing aspects of this important field. In addition, landmarks of the last decade of tribology are covered, including new world records for low friction and breakthroughs in measurement technology. This anthology, which was originally published over a decade as columns entitled 'Cutting Edge' in Tribology & Lubrication Technology magazine of the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers, is both educational and entertaining. While the style is eminently readable, each column is accompanied by references to the relevant literature.
An index to library and information science literature.
This five-volume collection of manorial court records, published between 1901 and 1945, is a unique resource for medieval historians.
Alors que les médias sont moins diabolisés qu'autrefois et que le sport devient un phénomène social majeur, la relation du sport avec les médias s'est transformée. Dans le même temps, les attentes et les attitudes des publics - y compris les plus " cultivés " - se sont modifiés tant à l'égard des spectacles sportifs et derrière eux des pratiques, que vis-à-vis de leurs retransmissions et de leurs commentaires ou analyses dans les médias traditionnels et Internet. Dès lors, il est tentant de mettre le rapport sport/médias sous les feux croisés de la recherche et de la réflexion critique... ce qui suscite quelques questionnements majeurs : peut-on placer sur le même plan le ...
